But this story was quite different. The man told Bored Panda that most malicious compliance posts heâd come across involved a dark twist, and lacked grace. He was inspired to share his story to spread some love and kindness. âNone of the malicious compliance stories I read were not hurtful to someone. I just thought my friend Pete had the perfect MC story,â he told Bored Panda during our chat.
The man said he genuinely missed Pete the owner and chef, adding that “he was a great guy”

“The marina was a little on the shabby and rundown side but the food was excellent and the portions were more than adequate. Everyone who kept their boat at this marina helped out when things got busy,” he told us, as he reminisced on his time spent there. “Bus tables, pump gas, clean spills it did not matter, you just helped Pete whenever needed.”
He added that Pete sold the marina “somewhere around 1980 to a guy who was less than friendly and approachable”. And said that “most of the regulars either moved to another marina or, like me, sold their boat.” We asked him what the status of the diner is these days. “The restaurant has been closed for at least 20 years,” he replied rather sadly. “Several attempts by others have failed to revive it.”
The man said he remained in contact with Pete, even after he sold the place. “Pete opened a restaurant in a nearby town and retired in early 2000âs. I was a regular at his restaurant and was invited to all three of his daughterâs weddings.”
